## Summary

**Music education**: This resolution would designate March 2026 as Music in Our Schools Month and formally recognize music's place in the Nation's culture and its long role in schools. It cites research that school music boosts student engagement, cognitive and social development, and workforce-relevant habits, notes the historical roots of classroom singing, and highlights that students in urban, rural, high-poverty, and majority-Black, Hispanic, or Native American public schools face the most limited access and need more support.
